Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Summer morning, in a lonely bay, the first sun rays pass over the mountain and cast light on the ruin of a castle on the top of a hill, with no sound to be heard, just little waves against the hull of a boat.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates.

My mostly acrylic paintings feature sceneries of landscapes, seascapes and floral motives of the real world in a figurative, realistic style, with a tendency for simplification. Being outside in nature is a great source of inspiration, and the photos taken during trips are the basics that I transform into paintings in my studio. Impressionists, in particular Claude Monet, but also Post-Impressionists are inspiring me most. The main element that continues to inspire me in impressionist painting is the effect of the sunlight on landscapes. I have a passion for the colour blue in all its possible facets and shades. It is a fundamental element of the composition in almost all of my paintings.

The other source of inspiration I found during my years of studying Japanese studies in Germany and Japan. I encountered the works of ukiyo-e masters and I particularly adore Hokusai's and Hiroshige's works for the clarity in which they both depict the landscapes. Both gave me the inspiration for creating my own edition of views on Japan. This is a mid-term project, which I have recently started and I have a strong determination to push it forward in the years to come. The first artwork out of this series in which I intend to use also different media, materials and techniques, including photos, which I digitally modify, is "silent cry".

The main objective of my artworks is to inspire the viewers to immerse into the light and atmosphere of a scenery, captured in a very special moment.

In April 2016, I won a Special Recognition Award for my painting "Sunset in Sa Rapita Bay" in the Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's 6th Annual “Landscapes” Art Competition in the Painting & Other Category. The Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's Competition comprised of 738 entries from 28 countries & 37 states.
